Automatic spray-painting machine

ABSTRACT

A CONVEYOR EXTENDS INTO A SPARY STATION FROM AN EXTERIOR LOADING STATION. AT LEAST ONE FIXTURE FOR SUPPORTING A MASK AND WORK PIECES IS ENGAGEABLE WITH THE CONVEYOR FOR MOVEMENT INTO THE SPRAY STATION. THE CONVEYOR PREFERABLY CONTINUES THE MOVEMENT ON THROUGH THE SPRAY STATION,AND OUT THE OPPOSITE SIDE, SO THAT THE ENCLOSURE FORMING THE SPRAY STATION CAN BE SHORTER THAN THE LENGTH OF FIXTURE ASSEMBLY IN THE DIRECTION OF MOVEMENT OF THE CONVEYOR. SPACE UNDER ONE SIDE OF THE CONVEYOR IS UTILIZED FOR MASK-WASHING EQUIPMENT. LATERAL TRANSFER MEANS, TOGETHER WITH AN ELEVATOR SYSTEM, MOVES THE WORK SUPPORT AND MASK FROM THE CONVEYOR TO AND THROUGH THE WASHING STATION. A PROGRAM CONTROLLER DETERMINES THE PAINTING CYCLE ACCORDING TO EASILY PRESET ADJUSTMENTS, AND SPRAY GUN ASSEMBLIES CAN BE LIFTED OUT AND INSTALLED AS A UNIT FOR EACH JOB SET-UP. A DOWN-DRAFT VENTILATION SYSTEM IN THE WORK STATION ACCOMMODATES THE WIDE RANGE OF PAINTING CONDITION THE MACHINE IS CAPABLE OF HANDLING.   D R A W I N G
